[PATCH 5.10 167/717] rcu: Allow rcu_irq_enter_check_tick() from NMI

[ Upstream commit 6dbce04d8417ae706596366e16841d77c454ba52 ]

Eugenio managed to tickle #PF from NMI context which resulted in
hitting a WARN in RCU through irqentry_enter() ->
__rcu_irq_enter_check_tick().

However, this situation is perfectly sane and does not warrant an
WARN. The #PF will (necessarily) be atomic and not require messing
with the tick state, so early return is correct. This commit
therefore removes the WARN.

Fixes: aaf2bc50df1f ("rcu: Abstract out rcu_irq_enter_check_tick() from rcu_nmi_enter()")
